II person buys property in certain

that taxes there are low; and we CLAIM

lower than in any other city OF its size
| and importance ia The United Ssates
The rate of the city tax is mills on 81.
The assessed value is somewhat over
$11, 900 goo, and the rate OF valuation is
on an average about 80 per cent 81
! its real value, so that this real city tax -
noiim0re THAI 211 mills on 81, which is
extr, mely low. The county and terri
torial taxes amount to u mills % 81.
which includes the territorial school tax.
The ratio of assessed value is intended
| to 60 peT cent. OF Ia cash value, but
the fact is that 1t is seldom more than
80 per cent. 1t will De seen then that
the normal entire tax on Salt Lake pro-.
perty is not more than mills on 81 for
its act al cash value; a tax which
might be increased several fold and stjst
not be excessive. We append below the.
the assessed val cf county propsrtg rs

it must be rememk cred, however, that
this does not give the exact Dissatisfaction
